This appliance must be grounded to a metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the
circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher. See the
Installation Instructions
included with this dishwasher for more information on electrical requirements.
Use this dishwasher only for its intended function, which is the washing of household dishware and kitchenware.
This dishwasher is provided with Installation Instructions and this Use and Care Manual . Read and understand all instructions
before using the dishwasher.
Use only detergents or rinsing agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.
When loading items to be washed:
- Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.
- Load knives and other sharp utensils with their HANDLES UP to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in place.
Do not tamper with or override controls and interlocks.
Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.
When children become old enough to operate the appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure
that they are instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more.
Hydrogen gas is explosive. Before using a dishwasher that is connected to a hot water system that has been unused for two weeks or
longer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydro
gen gas. As the gas is explosive, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding.
To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or under the dishwasher.
Protect your dishwasher from the elements. Protect against freezing to avoid possible damage to the fill valve. Damage caused by
freezing is not covered by the warranty.

Aluminum: Colored anodized aluminum may fade over time. Minerals in your water may cause
the aluminum to darken or spot. This can usually be removed by using a soap-filled steel wool
pad.
China, Crystal, Stoneware: Some
hand-painted pieces may discolor, fade, or spot. Hand-wash these pieces. Position fragile
glassware so that it will not topple over or
contact other pieces during the wash cycle.
Glass: Milk glass may yellow.
Non-Stick Coatings: Apply a light coating of vegetable oil to non-stick surfaces after drying.
Figure 2
12 place setting top rack
Plastics: Make sure the piece is dishwasher safe.
Stainless Steel, Sterling Silver, and Silver Plate: Place these pieces so that they do not contact
dissimilar metals.
Not Recommended
Acrylic: Crazing (small cracks throughout the acrylic) may occur.
Adhesive-Joined Pieces: Adhesives that join materials such as plastic, wood, bone, steel copper,
tin, etc. may loosen.
Bone-Handled Utensils: Handles may separate.
Iron: Iron will rust. Hand-wash and dry immediately.
Non-Dishware Items: Your dishwasher is intended for use in cleaning ONLY standard household
dishware and kitchenware.
Figure 3
Pewter, Brass, Bronze: Pewter will tarnish. Hand-wash and dry immediately.
Tin: Tin will rust. Hand-wash and dry immediately.
Wood: Wooden bowls, wooden utensils, and wood-handled utensils can crack, warp, and lose

Preparing and Loading the Dishware
Dishware Preparation
Figure 4
Do not pre-wash items having loosely-attached soiling. Remove large food particles, bones, seeds,
toothpicks, and excessive grease. Items having burned-on, baked-on or starchy soils may require
pre-treatment.
Loading the Dishwasher
Check the Materials section of this manual if you are unsure about an item’s dishwasher suitability.
Load only dishwasher-safe items into the dishwasher. Load dishes in the dishwasher racks so that
the insides of bowls, pots, and pans are facing the spray arms. Avoid nesting and contact points
between dishes. Separate items of dissimilar metals.
Loading the Top Rack
Figure 5
Figures 1 and 2 show typical 10 and 12 place load patterns for the top rack.
NOTE: Make sure items do not protrude through the bottom of the racks and block the spray arms.
ATTENTION
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not load the dishwasher with objects such as paper products, plastic bags, packing materials, or anything other than normal dishware and kitchenware. Do not load the dishwasher with anything other than dishwasher-safe dishware and
kitchenware.
Figure 6

Top Rack Accessories
Top Rack Flip Tines
Flip Tines fold down to make loading the racks easier in some instances. Grasp the tines,
release from notch, and fold the tines downward. When the top rack is loaded, push it into the
dishwasher.
NOTE: When pushing the top rack into the dishwasher, push it until it stops against the back of
the tub so the top rack spray arm will connect to the water supply. Do not push the top rack with
the door.
Top Rack Height Adjustment
The top rack can be lowered to accommodate large items in the top rack, and raised to make
room for large items in the bottom rack.
To raise the top rack:
1. Pull the top rack out of the dishwasher until it stops rolling.
Figure 7
12 place setting bottom rack
2. Grasp the top of the rack above the Automatic Height-Adjustable Top Rack handles and pull
it upward as shown in Figure 4 until the Automatic Height-Adjustable Top Rack handles lock
the rack into position (you do not need to press the Automatic Height-Adjustable Top Rack
handles in order raise the rack).
NOTE: Before you push the top rack back into the dishwasher, ensure that the rack height is the
same on both sides. Otherwise, the dishwasher door will not shut and the top rack spray arm will
not connect to the water circuit.
To lower the top rack:
1. Pull the top rack out of the dishwasher until it stops rolling.
2. Press the Automatic Height- Adjustable Top Rack handles inward as shown in
Figure 5 and let the rack drop.
Loading the Bottom Rack
Figure 8
Place large items in the bottom rack. Load pots, pans and bowls upside-down. Figures 6 and 7
show typical mixed loads for the bottom rack.
Loading Extra Tall Items
If an item is too tall to be placed into the bottom rack even with the top rack in the raised
position, remove the empty top rack by pulling it out of the dishwasher until it stops rolling. Pull
the front of the rack upward and outward until the rollers are completely free of the roller guides.
Set the top rack aside. Push the roller guides back into the dishwasher. Insert the Extra Tall Item
Sprinkler into the top rack spray outlet and turn the sprinkler clockwise to lock it into position as
shown in Figure 8. Place your extra tall item(s) in the bottom rack as shown in Figure 9.
NOTE: Keep the vent on the tub’s right side clear by placing tall items such as plastic cutting
boards and tall baking sheets on the bottom rack’s left side, center, or back.
Figure 9
Do not block vent.
ATTENTION
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not reinstall the top rack without removing the extra tall
item sprinkler. Do not reinstall the top rack with the sprinkler installed.
To remove the sprinkler and return the dishwasher to its normal condition:
1. Turn the sprinkler counterclockwise and remove it.
2. Retrieve the top rack.
3. Tilt the top rack upwards and position the top rack rollers onto the roller guides.
4. Continue pushing the top rack until the rollers are on the guide.
5. Push the top rack into the dishwasher.
Loading the Silverware Basket
NOTE: The silverware basket tops can be folded up to accommodate large or oddly-shaped items.
With the silverware basket tops down, load the silverware basket following the patterns suggested in Figures 10 and 11). Place knives
with their handles up, and forks and spoons with their handles down.
If large or oddly-shaped items are to be loaded into the silverware basket with the tops up, load the items so that they do not nest
together. Load knives and sharp utensils with their handles up.
CAUTION
The sharp points and edges of knives and other sharp utensils can cause serious injuries. Load knives and other sharp utensils
with sharp points and edges down. Do not allow children to handle or play near knives and sharp utensils.
The Flexible Silverware Basket
This basket is designed for maximum versatility. The basket splits along its length, resulting in two halves that may be placed in a variety
of positions in the lower rack, greatly increasing the lower rack’s loading versatility.
Cup Shelves
To split the Flexible Silverware Basket:
1. Grasp the basket as shown in Figure 12A, and slide the two halves in opposite
directions, as shown in Figure 12A.
2. Pull the two halves apart, as shown in Figure 12B.
Some suggestions for placing the two halves in the lower rack are shown in Figure 13.
Cup Shelves
In addition to cups, the shelves can also hold large utensils. Grasp the cup shelves and fold
them down. Place cups upside-down on the cup shelves.
Knife Rack
The knife rack is an extra shelf for knives and other large utensils. It is assembled onto an
edge of the upper rack. Place knives with sharp sides down as shown,
Glass Rack Attachment
The rack attachment has two additional cup shelves upon which to place cups and large
kitchen utensils. The rack attachment is assembled on the rear edge of the lower rack. Before placing the glass rack in the bottom rack, first fold down the two rear rows of flip tines.
To assemble:
Slide the Rack Attachment in as shown, keeping the longest tines on the inside of the top
basket wire and on the outside of the lower basket wire. The short tines will snap into place.

Adding Detergent and Rinse Agent
Detergent
Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. For best results, use fresh
powdered dishwashing detergent.
ATTENTION
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use hand dishwashing products in your dishwasher.
This dishwasher uses less water so you need to use less detergent. With soft water, 1
tablespoon (15ml) of detergent will clean most loads. The detergent dispenser cup has
lines that measure detergent to 1 tablespoon (15ml) and 1.75 tablespoons (25ml). 3
tablespoons (45ml) of detergent will completely fill the detergent dispenser cup.
ATTENTION
To avoid dishware damage, do not use too much detergent if your water supply is
soft. Using too much detergent in soft water may cause etching in glassware.
NOTE: If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 15ml of detergent.
Increase the amount of detergent, if necessary, to the least amount required to get your
dishware and kitchenware clean.
Use the measuring lines in the detergent dispenser cup as a guide to measure the amount
of detergent recommended in Table 1.

remove the debris. Flush the Cylinder Filter clean by holding it under running water.
To Remove the Fine Filter:
1. Lift the Fine Filter from the dishwasher floor as shown in Figure
30 A and flush it clean by holding it under running water.

Clean the Exterior Door Panel
Colored Doors
Use only a soft cloth that is lightly dampened with soapy water.
Stainless Steel Doors
Use a soft cloth with a non-abrasive cleaner (preferably a liquid spray) made for cleaning stainless steel. For the best results,
apply the stainless steel cleaner to the cloth, then wipe the surface.
Clean the Door Gasket and Door Seal
Regularly clean the door gasket with a damp cloth to remove food particles and other debris. Also clean the door seal, located
inside the dishwasher at the bottom of the door.
Wash Cycle Information
To save energy, this dishwasher has a “Smart Control” that automatically adjust the cycle based on soil loads and incoming
water temperature. The “Smart Control” makes decisions that can cause the cycle time and water usage to adjust intermittently.
The cycle times listed in the Use and Care manual are based on normal soil loads and 120°F incoming water and will vary based
on your actual conditions.
See the Available Cycles Chart to determine the cycles available for your specific model.
On select models, the Half Load feature will reduce the water consumption by approximately 30 percent in the Power Scrub
Plus, Regular, and Auto Wash cycles.
On select models, the ECO feature will reduce energy consumption by approximately 10-25 percent depending on cycle chosen.
If additional drying heat is selected, the cycle will be extended by approximately 20 minutes.
If the unit is out of rinse agent, the
Öko DRY
feature will automatically extend the cycle time by approximately 10 minutes.
If Pre Soak is selected, the cycle will be extended by approximately 15 minutes.
THE NSF S YMBOL
A dishwasher or a dishwasher cycle that has the NSF symbol has been certified by the NSF International to meet very strict
requirements of wash time and water temperature to ensure dishware and kitchenware sanitization. These requirements are
explained in the document NSF/ANSI 184, Residential Dishwashers. More information on NSF Certification is available at the
NSF website, http://www.nsfconsumer.org/home/appliances.asp.
Your dishwasher is NSF certified. The dishwasher cycles that are NSF certified are shown in the chart above. When these cycles
are complete, the “Sanitized” indicator on your dishwasher control panel will illuminate.
NOTE : If your household water supply is too hot, your dishwasher’s heating time may be reduced and the “Sanitized” light or
symbol may not illuminate. Your Dishwasher Installation Manual has information on the recommended temperature for your
household hot water supply.

Self Help
Dishwashers may occasionally exhibit problems that are unrelated to a malfunction of the dishwasher itself. The following information
may help you with a dishwasher problem without your having to call a repair person.
Dishes do not dry
The rinse agent dispenser may be empty. Check the rinse-aid dispenser and refill it if necessary. Dishware drying can be accelerated and
enhanced by opening the dishwasher door slightly and propping it open with the top rack.
Indicator light(s) do not come on
A fuse may have blown or a circuit breaker tripped. Check the fuse or circuit breaker at your fuse box/breaker box and replace the fuse or
reset the breaker if necessary.
Dishwasher does not start
The dishwasher door may not be properly shut. Make certain the dishwasher door is shut and latched.
Dishwasher runs a long time
If the dishwasher completes the cycle, but the run time seems exceptionally long, it may be due to cold incoming water. Before starting
the dishwasher, open the hot water faucet at the sink nearest the dishwasher. Run the water until it runs hot, then turn off the water and
start the dishwasher.
Machine cycle does not advance to rinse
NOTE: The Installation Manual that came with your dishwasher will help you with the following instructions. The water supply line may
be shut off. Check the water supply valve and open it if it’s shut.
White spots left on dishes
More rinse agent is needed. Go to the Adding Detergent and Rinse Agent section of this manual for instructions on increasing the
amount of rinse agent dispensed.
Water not pumped from dishwasher
Make certain the drain hose isn’t kinked, clogged, or improperly installed. Make certain a portion of the drain hose is at least 20 inches
above the dishwasher’s enclosure floor (see the Installation Manual). Filters may be clogged. Make certain the filter system isn’t clogged
(see the Care and Maintenance section of this manual). The kitchen sink drain may be clogged; you may need a plumber rather than a
serviceman for the dishwasher. If an air gap is installed at sink, it may be clogged.
Detergent dispenser cover will not shut
You may not be correctly shutting the detergent dispenser cover, or a cycle was not finished and should be cancelled. Go to the Adding
Detergent and Rinse Agent section of this manual for instructions on shutting the detergent dispenser cover. Go to the Operating the
Dishwasher section of this manual for instructions on canceling a cycle.
Streaks on glassware
Too much rinse agent is being dispensed. Go to the Adding Detergent and Rinse Agent section of this manual for instructions on
decreasing the amount of rinse agent dispensed.
Rattling noises
Utensils may not be properly arranged.
Suds in dishwasher
You may have used the wrong type of dishwashing detergent. Use only automatic dishwasher detergents.
Unsatisfactory washing results
• Incorrect amount of detergent.
• Utensils incorrectly arranged or rack overloaded.
• Spray arm rotation blocked by utensils.
• Spray arm nozzles need cleaning.
• Filters not properly fitted into position.
• Unsuitable cycle selected.

provided Küppersbusch in this Statement of
Limited Product Warranty applies only to Küppersbusch dishwashers
rst using purchaser, provided that

household purposes; (2) new at retail (not a display, “as is”, or previously

the United States or Canada, and has at all times remained within the
country of original purchase. The warranties stated herein apply only to
rst purchaser of the Product and are not transferable.
t
Please make sure to return your registration card; while not
necessary to e ectuate warranty coverage, it is the best way
for Küppersbusch to notify you in the unlikely event of a safety
notice or product recall.
How Long the Warranty Lasts:
Küppersbusch warrants that the
Product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period
ve (365) days (i.e., 1 year) from the date of
of three hundr
purchase. The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of
purchase, and shall not be stalled, tolled, extended, or suspended, for
any reason whatsoever. Labor and shipping costs are included in this
basic coverage.
Extended Limited Warranty:
Küppersbusch also provides these
additional limited warranties:
2 Year Limited Warranty:
Küppersbusch will repair or replace
any component that proves to be defective in materials or
workmanship (excludes labor charges).
5 Year Limited Warranty on Electronics:
Küppersbusch
will repair or replace any Küppersbusch microprocessor or
printed circuit board if it proves to be defective in materials or
workmanship (excludes labor charges).
5 Year Limited Warranty on Dish Racks:
Küppersbusch
will replace the upper or lower dish rack (excluding rack
components), if the rack proves defective in materials or

The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of purchase, and
shall not be stalled, tolled, extended, or suspended, for any reason
whatsoever.
Repair/Replace as Your Exclusive Remedy
: During this warranty
period, Küppersbusch or one of its authorized service providers will
repair your Product without charge to you (subject to certain limitations
stated herein) if your Product proves to have been manufactured with
a defect in materials or workmanship. If reasonable attempts to repair
the Product have been made without success, then Küppersbusch will
replace your Product (upgraded models may be available to you, in
Küppersbusch’s sole discretion, for an additional charge). All removed
parts and components shall become the property of Küppersbusch at its
sole option. All replaced and/or repaired parts shall assume the identity
of the original part for purposes of this warranty and this warranty
shall not be extended with respect to such parts. Küppersbusch’s sole
liability and responsibility hereunder is to repair manufacturer-defective
Product only, using a Küppersbusch-authorized service provider during
normal business hours. For safety and property damage concerns,
Küppersbusch highly recommends that you do not attempt to repair
the Product yourself, or use an un-authorized servicer; Küppersbusch
will have no responsibility or liability for repairs or work performed by a
non-authorized servicer. If you choose to have someone other than an
authorized service provider work on your Product, THIS WARRANTY WILL
AUTOMATICALLY BECOME NULL AND VOID. Authorized service providers
are those persons or companies that have been specially trained on
Küppersbusch products, and who possess, in Küppersbusch’s opinion, a
superior reputation for customer service and technical ability (note that
tes
they are independent entities and are not agents, partner
or representatives of Küppersbusch). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Küppersbusch will not incur any liability, or have responsibility, for the
Product if it is located in a remote area (more than 100 miles from an
authorized service provider) or is reasonably
inaccessible, hazardous, threatening, or treacherous locale,
surroundings, or environment; in any such event, if you request,
Küppersbusch would still pay for labor and parts and ship the parts
to the nearest authorized service provider, but you would still be fully
liable and responsible for any travel time or other special charges by the
service company, assuming they agree to make the service call.
Out of Warranty Product:
Küppersbusch is under no obligation, at law
or otherwise, to provide you with any concessions, including repairs,
pro-rates, or Product replacement, once this warranty has expired.
Warranty Exclusions:
The warranty coverage described herein
excludes all defects or damage that are not the direct fault of
Küppersbusch, including without limitation, one or more of the
following: (1) use of the Product in anything other than its normal,
customary and intended manner (including without limitation, any
form of commercial use, use or storage of an indoor product outdoors,
use of the Product in conjunction with air or water-going vessels); (2)
any party’s willful misconduct, negligence, misuse, abuse, accidents,
neglect, improper operation, failure to maintain, improper or negligent

forces and factors, including without limitation, rain, wind, sand,
res, mud slides, freezing temperatures, excessive moisture
or extended exposure to humidity, lightning, power surges, structural
failures surrounding the appliance, and acts of God. In no event
shall Küppersbusch have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for
damage to surrounding property, including cabinetry
rs, ceilings,
and other structures or objects around the Product. Also excluded
from this warranty are scratches, nicks, minor dents, and cosmetic
damages on external surfaces and exposed parts; Products on which

of breakers or fuses. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, THIS
WARRANTY SETS OUT YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES WITH RESPECT
TO PRODUCT, WHETHER THE CLAIM ARISES IN CONTRACT OR TORT
(INCLUDING STRICT LIABILITY, OR NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE.
THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. ANY WARRANTY IMPLIED BY LAW, WHETHER
FOR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE EFFECTIVE ONLY FOR THE PERIOD THAT

LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, AND

IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT
APPLY TO YOU. THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS,
